Review the content on this page to understand the limitations and known issues of the RapidConnect Desktop software. If you encounter a bug that is not tracked on this list, please report the bug to info@mmbnetworks.com.

Known Issues

• When operating against RapidHA 1.7.5 or RapidConnect 2.x firmware as an router or end-device configured with an On/Off or Level Control cluster, the application will not update the state of the cluster on the reception of a network command that modifies it.
• If running Windows in a VM (i.e. VMWare Fusion), the application may have issues rendering. If so, the workaround is to add the following line under the C:\Program Files\RapidConnect Desktop Beta\app\RapidConnect Desktop Beta.cfg file and restart the app:

  • [JVMOptions]
    -Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
